2013 CNY Chap Goh Mei Trail Run at Gasing Hill on 23Feb2013 covering 5 hills for a distance of 9.3 km in 2 hour 45 minutes. Thanks to Raymond Ng for leading the pack meandering through the many split trails.

The group successfully went round Salem High Country Hill to “jin wan”. For outdoor enthusiasts, "jin wan" has nothing to do with ritual ceremony but to sweat it out to accomplish the task. A few years ago, I met a few uncles there (who were trekking) and they suggested that it is good to go round Salem High Country Hill signifying “jin wan” (energize one’s luck) during the auspicious Chinese New Year. It is an excellent suggestion when we need to look for reasons to go outdoors.

We are pleased to have Alan Yu laoshi in joining us in this trekking. He is the Zhineng Qigong Centre Laoshi of USJ 1 and USJ 15 Wawasan. He will assume the role of qigong group leader for the 3D2N Lucky Valley Retreat and Sungei Lembing Tour (LV+LB) on 20-22 April 2013 in experiencing the strong and energized chi at Lucky Valley.

The Ular la pose for The Year of the SSSSS’Snake

Since we are still in Chinese New Year mood, most of the trekkers are donning red T-shirts signifying prosperity and good luck for the Lunar New Year. Other than the usual thumbs-up pose for photos shoot, we also have two new poses: the Ular la pose and the Gong Xi Gong Xi pose.

While descending the hill, we met one dog running into our direction, and the owner behind was shouting repeatedly “Stay There!” The dog was seemingly ignoring his command; with its advancement, we were not too sure of its friendliness. So we were standing still as though we were responding to the command of “Stay There!” – but not the dog. We have a good laugh after that.

The group trekked a distance of 7.5 km in 2 hr 30 minutes with a slow and steady pace amidst time for photos shoot.

Trail Running at Apek Hill, Cheras, for an early "hoi kung" (start work) on chor 3 (Day-3) of 2013 Chinese New Year (12 Feb 2013).

Instead of greeting other trekkers with the usual Good
Morning, a most appropriate greeting for the occasion would be "Gong Hei
Fatt Choy" for a short exchange of pleasantry. Nevertheless, if there was
time, I would continue with another greeting: wishing good health in Cantonese.
After all, being there means we love the outdoor and good health.
